After setting, the phone user can use the app to carry out operation corresponding to the set privilege. Note: The procedure of creating new phone user is similar to that of setting administrator, with the main process of the administrator using the admin password to assign privileges for app users. For security reason, we strongly recommend the administrator not to disclose the password to anyone else. Each app for connecting with the lock is regarded as 1 user, occupying the storage of 1 user. The storage of lock is 100 users. 15
